Carol of the Day: Dec 4th · 3:14am Dec 5th, 2019
We're continuing our countdown today with "Gospel Hallelujah!".
Everyone is familiar with the Hallelujah Chorus. So, to hear it rendered in a different musical genre is a real treat.

Going a bit silly today. If you've travelled the YouTubes as I do, you've probably come across Translator Fails. For those of you who don't know, well, just check out the first minute of the video.
Well, last year, Malinda got with the Gregory Brothers and they gave some classic carols the translator treatment.
Very Funny. Have fun!
Hitting the history books with this one. This is "Christmas 1915" by Celtic Thunder.
Every student who has ever learned about World War I has heard, at least in some part, of the Christmas Truce. While the ceasefire in 1914 is the most famous, there were smaller occurrences in the later years.
Today's song a slight deviation. In honor of St. Nicholas day, we're going to look at "Zie Ginds Komt de Stoomboot", a Dutch song children sing as they welcome the arrival of Sinterklaas.
Translated as "Look, Here Comes the Steamboat", children sing about how Sinterklaas (St. Nicholas) is travelling from Spain his his horse and the Black Peter(s) to deliver presents to them.
...or get ready to submit your entries!
Continuing with the theme of winter, we're listening today to "Wizards of Winter", performed by the Raleigh Ringers.
Told ya I’d have this ready soon.
After much consideration of the order and which ones had the most valuable morals aimed at the target audience, I've managed to narrow it down.
Here are my picks for the top 15 best episodes of the show. And after this countdown, I'll move onto the best and worst show characters next.
HONORABLE MENTIONS
Hey, all!
Today marks the first of December and the First Sunday of Advent.
In, Christmas is just around the corner.
So, I thought I'd post a song everyday to get is into the season.
It also gives you a little look into kind the stuff I listen to (I'm sorry).
Today, we're looking at Wolves At The Gate and their cover of "Come Thou Long Expected Jesus".
Merry Christmas, everybody!
To end this wild musical ride, we're just gonna have a little instrumental to celebrate the day and the reason for the season. This is "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring."
May you find the joy of Christ today and through the rest of the year.
Merry Christmas, all!
Missed the previous days'? Links below!
Well this was a long time coming.
After much consideration of the order and which ones had the most botched/toxic lessons for the target audience, it's finally here.
I'm not mincing my words, folks. Here are my picks for the top 15 worst episodes of the show. Don't worry, I'll do the best episodes next. Save the positive stuff for last, amiright?
DISHONORABLE MENTIONS
This little gem was written by American Folk singer Tom Paxton in 1962. Two versions of this song exist. The original doesn't give under what occasion, if any, the toy was given. Later versions turned the toy into a Christmas gift and some oldies stations would only play this song around Christmas time.
Today, we're listening to the Christmas version of "The Marvelous Toy" as performed by another notable folk singer, John Denver.
Crap, I almost forgot about Mandatory Megadeth this week! I was just sitting down to proof-read when I realised it was Thursday. Speaking of writing, I’m actually ahead of the game right now; I’m deep into the main plot of MLP EG Forever, and like the first half, it’s gotten quite dark--if not more so--and it’s been a little more interesting to write lately.
Going a little nostalgic today.
Not many people can name many artists of yesteryear. There are some names that only comes up this time of year. Burl Ives is among them.
Probably best remembered for voicing Sam the Snowman in Rankin/Bass's "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer", Burl was a folk singer whose career spanned much of the mid twentieth century.
One of, arguably, his most popular albums was "Have a Holly Jolly Christmas" which featured the song of the same name.
I'm on a roll with these countdowns.
After much consideration of what order to place each of them in, here are my picks for the top 15 worst characters in Friendship is Magic and Equestria Girls. Don't worry, the best characters list will be next. Gotta save the positive stuff for last.
DISHONORABLE MENTIONS
Garble, pre-Season 9
Save the positives for last.
After much consideration of the order, these are my picks for the top 20 best characters in Friendship is Magic and Equestria Girls. I like more characters than I dislike so that's why I added the extra five.

Kerfuffle
